XAOC Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Quick question, what i can expect from VPS server like this ? How much players can it handle without issues ? CPU: 1 x 2.60 GHz RAM: 2 GB Storage: 20 GB SSD Bandwidth: 2 TB Port speed: 100 Mbps Available OS: Windows 2012 / 2016 / 2019 Virtualization: KVM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff NodSaibot Posted October 20, 2019 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted October 20, 2019 16 maybe if you're lucky. The game is single threaded, so as long as you have good per-core performance, it will run well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest once upon the time Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Is the SSD the only Storage? Is the Serversystem Windows (doesnt matter yet which one) on it or you must install it too? The new Serversystems needs more space. I ask because when its your only storage could be very very small. Dont know yet how many GB Ren x has. on the other hand 2 GB RAM is very low, should work but..... I think would be hard to run with 16. Hard to say because depends on your internet connection too.

XAOC Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Damn, how about hosting it on linux using wine ? Because i can get much powerful Linux VPS. Windows based VPS are expensive af Edited October 20, 2019 by XAOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest once upon the time Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 You have an good PC and your provider gives you a good internetconnection? It exist an additional possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fffreak9999 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Can you get a server to run under Linux: Yes, but it is a pain in the butt to do, trust me I've ran the servers in Linux and the random bugs and issues we have come across is annoying. However in terms of rough windows PC/server specs to host a server From a bit of testing (with various server hosting levels) Quote Low Population (Sub 30) High Single Core Performance with a minimum recommended 2.7 GHz core. Quote Medium Population (Up to 40 Players and vehicles) High Single Core Performance with a minimum recommended 3.2 GHz core. Quote High Population (Up to 50 players and Vehicles) High Single Core Performance with a minimum recommended 3.5 GHz core. Quote Mainstream Server (64 Players and maximum vehicles) High Single Core Performance with a minimum recommended 3.8+ GHz core, but high as you as can possibly go is better, with the diminishing returns at 4.2~4.4GHz where you tend not to notice any better performance. Universal Specs: You want at least 4GB of RAM for a single server (recommend giving at least 6GB (if you want to use a 64 bit server) to ensure that you have enough), as more players and larger maps makes use of SSD is recommended, but a good HDD will perform just as well, it will just take a little longer to load up. Network Speed - This is very important, but as long as you have a good upload speed (At 100Mb or higher (to take into account if you want to host custom content such as mutators and maps) then this will be more than sufficient, although if you only plan to host a LAN server or a small group server you can get away with a lot lower). Quote This server I have highlighted is running Mesa with a few bots and 1 player, and is already using 4GB of RAM, but it won't normally increase much more than that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XAOC Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Thanks @Fffreak9999, exactly what i wanted to know ! Maximum that i can get is this Unmanaged Windows VPS: CPU: 2 cores @ 2.60 GHz RAM: 8 GB Storage: 80 GB SSD Bandwidth: 8 TB Port speed: 1 GB/ps Available OS: Windows 2012 / 2016 / 2019 Virtualization: KVM Annual price is 204 USD EDIT: How much bandwidth does the server eat monthly with 64/64 without mutators. Estimated playtimes would be from 5 PM-1 AM. In other words am I good with 8TB bandwidth Edited October 21, 2019 by XAOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fffreak9999 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Yeah, unfortunately many places don't offer good Windows VM packages. I know many of the EU servers that currently run, use OVH (which as a massive server hosting platform, they tend to offer very good deals and widespread network infrastructure.) You will likely find that many places do not offer good CPU VPS servers, since the majority of tasks that they tend to cater for are web platform related stuff, not gaming. Although if you want a VPS that is quite popular (although slightly pricy from what I remember), you can try NFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XAOC Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 How about https://zap-hosting.com They have reasonable prices.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fffreak9999 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 They appear to have reasonable specs for VPS. But I have never used them so I can't state anything about reliability tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goku Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 VPS unless on good hardware suffer from random lag spikes at higher player counts. At least in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fffreak9999 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Yeah, you don't know what priority your CPU has to handle the workloads when its not bare-metal. VPS are good for low priority roles or things like download mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueToast Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Is there a gauge or metric to indicate how much bandwidth you need per player? For example, what would a 10mbit (symmetric) be good enough for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 100-1000MBps connection would be plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fffreak9999 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 64 bit server works fine, but we can’t guarantee bug free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
